• Substantial somatic genomic variation and selection for BCOR mutations in human induced pluripotent stem cells

  Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSC) are an established patient-specific model system where opportunities are emerging for cell-based therapies. We compared and contrasted hiPSCs derived from different tissues, skin and blood, in the same individual. We show extensive single-nucleotide mutagenesis in all hiPSC lines, although fibroblast-derived hiPSCs (F-hiPSCs) are particularly heavily mutagenized by ultraviolet (UV)-related damage. We utilized genome sequencing data on 454 F-hiPSCs and 44 blood-derived hiPSCs (B-hiPSCs) to gain further insights. Across 324 whole genome sequenced (WGS) F-hiPSCs derived by the Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Initiative (HipSci), UV-related damage is present in ~72% of cell lines, sometimes causing substantial mutagenesis (range 0.25-15 per Mb). Furthermore, we find remarkable genomic heterogeneity between independent F-hiPSC clones derived from the same reprogramming process in the same donor, due to oligoclonal populations within fibroblasts. Combining WGS and exome-sequencing data of 452 HipSci F-hiPSCs, we identify 272 predicted pathogenic mutations in cancer-related genes, of which 21 genes were hit recurrently three or more times, involving 77 (17%) lines. Notably, 151 of 272 mutations were present in starting fibroblast populations suggesting that more than half of putative driver events in F-hiPSCs were acquired in vivo. In contrast, B-hiPSCs reprogrammed from erythroblasts show lower levels of genome-wide mutations (range 0.28-1.4 per Mb), no UV damage, but a strikingly high prevalence of acquired BCOR mutations in ~57% of lines, indicative of strong selection pressure. All hiPSCs had otherwise stable, diploid genomes on karyotypic pre-screening, highlighting how copy-number-based approaches do not have the required resolution to detect widespread nucleotide mutagenesis. This work strongly suggests that models for cell-based therapies require detailed nucleotide-resolution characterization prior to clinical application.

• Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma AO Exome-seq data

  Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) are rare primary brain tumors which are generally incurable, with heterogeneous prognosis and few treatment targets identified. Most oligodendrogliomas have chromosome 1p/19q co-deletion and IDH mutation. We analyzed 51 AOs by whole-exome sequencing, identifying previously reported frequent somatic mutations in CIC and FUBP1. We also identified recurrent mutations in TCF12 and in an additional series of 83 AO. Overall 7.5% of AO are mutated for TCF12, which encodes an oligodendrocyte-related transcription factor. 80% of TCF12 mutations identified were in either the bHLH domain, which is important for TCF12 function as a transcription factor, or were frame shift mutations leading to TCF12 truncated for this domain. We show that these mutations compromise TCF12 transcriptional activity and are associated with a more aggressive tumor type. Our analysis provides further insights into the unique and shared pathways driving AO.

• NOUS-209 off-the-shelf immunotherapy has the potential to hit primary and metachronous colorectal and urothelial cancer in Lynch syndrome

  Lynch syndrome is an inherited cancer predisposition characterized by the development of microsatellite-instable tumors, most commonly colorectal and urothelial cancers. These cancers harbor recurrent frameshift mutations (FSMs) that generate shared neoantigens, creating opportunities for targeted immunotherapy. NOUS-209 is a viral-vector–based cancer vaccine encoding 209 of these shared neoantigen peptides. This study investigated the presence and evolution of NOUS-209 target FSMs in Lynch syndrome–associated tumors, revealing their persistence across primary and metachronous cancers and supporting the rationale for NOUS-209 as a preventive immunotherapy.

• Enrichment of Lung Microbiome with Supraglottic Taxa which is Associated with Increased Pulmonary Inflammation

  Background: The lung microbiome of healthy individuals frequently harbors oral organisms. Despite evidence that micro-aspiration is commonly associated with smoking-related lung diseases, the effects of lung microbiome enrichment with upper airway taxa on inflammation has not been studied. We hypothesize that the presence of oral microorganisms in the lung microbiome is associated with enhanced pulmonary inflammation. Methods: We sampled bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from the lower airways of 29 asymptomatic subjects (9 never-smokers, 14 former-smokers and 6 current-smokers). We quantified, amplified, and sequenced 16S rRNA genes from BAL samples by qPCR and 454 sequencing. Pulmonary inflammation was assessed by exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), BAL lymphocytes and neutrophils. Results: BAL had lower total 16S than supraglottic samples and higher than saline background. Bacterial communities in the lower airway clustered in two distinct groups that we designated as pneumotypes. The rRNA gene concentration and microbial community of the first pneumotype was similar to that of the saline background. The second pneumotype had higher rRNA gene concentration and higher relative abundance of supraglottic-characteristic taxa (SCT), such as Veillonella and Prevotella, and we called it pneumotypeSCT. Smoking had no effect on pneumotype allocation, alpha or beta diversity. PneumotypeSCT was associated with higher BAL lymphocyte-count (p = 0.007), BAL neutrophil-count (p = 0.034) and eNO (p = 0.022). Conclusion: A pneumotype with high relative abundance of supraglottic-characteristic taxa is associated with enhanced subclinical lung inflammation.

• Whole-genome sequencing of BRCA-mutant breast cancer patient samples from tumour, germline tissue and plasma

  The use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to profile mutational signatures presents a non-invasive opportunity for understanding cancer mutational processes. In this study we developed MisMatchFinder, a liquid biopsy approach for mutational signature detection using low- coverage whole-genome sequencing of ctDNA. Through analysis of plasma samples across multiple different cancers, we demonstrated that MisMatchFinder accurately infers single-base and doublet-base substitutions as well as indels to enhance detection of ctDNA and clinically relevant mutational signatures. This study contains fastq files from whole-genome sequencing of temporally matched tumour (fresh frozen biopsies), blood germline and plasma samples collected from a BRCA1-mutant breast cancer patient to directly compare mutation signature analysis using gold-standard tumour-germline paired variant calling with our novel ctDNA-based method (MisMatchFinder).

• Ultra-sensitive tumor-informed ctDNA monitoring of treatment response in advanced esophagogastric cancer patients

  To explore whether ultra-sensitive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling enables earlier prediction of treatment response and detection of disease progression, we applied NeXT Personal, an ultra-sensitive bespoke tumor-informed liquid biopsy platform, to profile tumor samples from the KeyLargo study, a phase II trial in which metastatic esophagogastric cancer (mEGC) patients received capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and pembrolizumab. A total of 24 patients were evaluated, and all were ctDNA-positive at baseline. ctDNA levels varied from 406,067 down to 1.5 parts per million (PPM) with a median limit of detection of 2.03 PPM. ctDNA dynamics were highly correlated with changes in tumor size (ρ = 0.59, p = 7.3×10-9). Lack of early molecular response (50% or greater decrease in ctDNA levels at first available time point after 30 days, C2D1 or C4D1) was associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR 6.6, 95% CI 1.8-24.1, p = 0.005) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR 15.4, 95% CI 2.7-87.0, p = 0.002). Lack of molecular clearance of ctDNA was associated with worse OS (HR 6.9, 95% CI 1.5-30.8, p = 0.012) and PFS (HR 19.2, 95% CI 2.4-152.8, p = 0.005). Molecular progression (ctDNA increase) preceded imaging-derived progression by a median lead time of 65 days. These results suggest that ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy approaches could improve treatment decision-making for mEGC patients receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

• Neoadjuvant nivolumab or nivolumab plus ipilimumab in early-stage triple negative breast cancer: phase 2 adaptive BELLINI trial. WES

  The adaptive BELLINI trial explored whether short combination ICI induces immune activation (primary endpoint: two-fold increase in CD8+ T cells or IFNG), providing rationale for neoadjuvant ICI without chemotherapy. In window of opportunity cohorts A (4 weeks anti-PD1) and B (4 weeks anti-PD1 + anti-CTLA4), we observed immune activation in 53% (8/15) and 60% (9/15) of patients, respectively. High tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) correlated with response. Based on these data, we opened cohort C for patients with high TILs (≥50%) who received 6 weeks neoadjuvant anti-PD1 + anti-CTLA4 followed by surgery (primary endpoint: pathological complete response, pCR). 53% (8/15) of patients had major pathological response (< 10% viable tumor) at resection, with 33% (5/15) having pCR. All cohorts met Simon’s two-stage threshold for expansion to stage II. In conclusion, neoadjuvant immunotherapy without chemotherapy demonstrates potential efficacy and warrants further investigation in patients with early TNBC.

• Robust detection of translocations in lymphoma FFPE samples using Targeted Locus Capture-based sequencing - NGS targeted capture control cohort

  In routine diagnostic pathology, cancer biopsies are preserved by Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedding (FFPE) procedures for examination of (intra-) cellular morphology. Such procedures inadvertently induce DNA fragmentation, which compromises sequencing-based analyses of chromosomal rearrangements. Yet, rearrangements drive many types of hematolymphoid malignancies and solid tumors, and their manifestation is instructive for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Here, we present FFPE-Targeted Locus Capture (FFPE-TLC) for targeted sequencing of proximity-ligation products formed in FFPE tissue blocks, and PLIER, a computational framework that allows automated identification and characterization of rearrangements involving selected, clinically-relevant, loci. FFPE-TLC, blindly applied to 149 lymphoma and control FFPE samples, identifies the known and novel rearrangement partners. It outperforms fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in sensitivity and specificity, and shows clear advantages over standard capture-NGS methods, finding rearrangements involving repetitive sequences which they typically miss. FFPE-TLC is therefore a powerful clinical diagnostics tool for accurate targeted rearrangement detection in FFPE specimens.

• Genomic profiling of ovarian adult type granulosa cell tumors

  To investigate the genomic landscape of primary and recurrent ovarian adult type granulosa cell tumors, we first identified an exploratory cohort comprised of cryopreserved surgical biopsies from 24 patients (primary, n = 8; recurrent, n = 16) with 20 having matched normal tissue or peripheral blood samples. We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on these tumor samples at 200X target coverage (mean 226; range 165-296) and also performed WES on the available normal samples. In addition, we performed cancer gene panel sequencing using the T200.1 hybrid capture platform on FFPE tissue from 55 additional patients (primary, n = 27; recurrent, n = 28), of which we sequenced matched normal tissue for a total of 44.

• A tumor-associated photoreceptor signature unifies distinct central nervous system malignancies

  Pineoblastoma is a clinically aggressive childhood brain tumor composed of distinct molecular subgroups with divergent driver genes, demographics, and clinical outcomes. To identify developmental origins and mechanisms governing disease pathogenesis, we derive single-cell transcriptomes from pineal parenchymal tumors, aligning malignant cells with our atlas of pineal gland development to retrace cellular origins. Integrative computational analyses maps pineoblastoma origins to transient cycling pinealocyte progenitors during development. Lineage-specific perturbation of suspected drivers in the early pineal gland yields preclinical models representative of consensus molecular subgroups. Multi-omic characterization of patient tumors and these models uncovers a tumor-associated photoreceptor signature common to pineoblastoma, retinoblastoma, and Group 3 medulloblastoma. Transcriptional activity of this signature within respective cellular origins establishes a developmental basis for molecular similarities between entities. Photoreceptor signature constituents are selective dependencies across these anatomically distinct central nervous system malignancies, motivating future studies evaluating developmentally encoded programs of malignancy as potential therapeutic liabilities.

• Clonal dynamics after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation using genome-wide somatic mutations - WGS

  Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) replaces the stem cells responsible for blood production with those harvested from a donor, and is received by 40,000 patients worldwide each year. To quantify dynamics of long-term stem cell engraftment, we sequenced whole genomes of 2,824 single-cell-derived haematopoietic colonies from blood samples of 10 donor-recipient pairs taken 9-31 years after HLA-matched sibling HCT. With younger donors, 10,000-50,000 stem cells had engrafted and were still contributing to haematopoiesis at time of sampling, but estimates were 10-fold lower with older donors. Engrafted stem cells made multilineage contributions to myeloid, B-lymphoid and T-lymphoid populations, although individual clones often showed biases towards one or other mature cell type. Recipients had lower clonal diversity than matched donors, equivalent to ~10-15 years of additional ageing, arising from up to 25-fold greater expansion of stem cell clones. An HCT-related population bottleneck alone could not explain these differences: instead, phylogenetic trees evinced two distinct modes of HCT-specific selection. In 'pruning selection', cell divisions underpinning recipient-enriched clonal expansions had occurred in the donor, preceding transplant - their selective advantage derived from preferential mobilisation, harvest, survival ex vivo or initial homing. In 'growth selection', cell divisions underpinning clonal expansion occurred through proliferative advantage in the recipient's marrow after homing - clones with multiple driver mutations especially demonstrated this pattern. Uprooting stem cells from their native environment and transplanting them to foreign soil exaggerates selective pressures, distorting and accelerating the loss of clonal diversity compared to the unperturbed haematopoiesis of donors.

• Target gene sequencing for human normal endometrial glands

  To elucidate the timing and mechanism of the clonal expansion of somatic mutations in cancer-associated genes in the normal endometrium, we conducted target sequencing of 112 genes for 1,298 endometrial glands and matched blood samples from 36 women. By collecting endometrial glands from different parts of the endometrium, we showed that multiple glands with the same somatic mutations occupied substantial areas of the endometrium.

• Pathogenesis and Immunity in Endemic Burkitt Lymphoma

  This genomic landscape of Burkitt lymphoma represents a multimodal sequencing of tumors and control tissues and individuals to better understand the etiology, and molecular pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma including the roles of the associated Plasmodium falciparum malaria and EBV infections. Comprehensive sequencing set includes genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic datasets in concert with variable clinical phenotypes and outcome information such as anatomical presentation site, in-hospital survival rates, and EBV genome type. This deposit includes additional small RNA-seq data from endemic BL (eBL) tumors and RNA-sequencing data from sorted NK cell subsets from the peripheral blood of eBL patients. The additional small RNA-seq data are from tumor specimens from 17 eBL cases, of the previously deposited polyA RNA-seq data from 28 eBL cases (phs1282.V1). The additional RNAseq data from Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) of NK cell subsets, isolated from the peripheral blood of 7 eBL cases. The additional RNAseq data are from eBL tumor samples of 5 eBL cases, BL cell lines established from these tumor samples and also NSG mouse tumors created by implanting the established BL cell lines into NSG mice. The dataset also includes RNAseq data of the NSG mouse tumors after treatment with Rituximab (RIT) and Phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The fifth batch of data includes mRNA-seq from different passages of a single eBL cell line that have variable EBV phenotypes (low passage with lytic EBV and high passage with latent EBV). This batch also includes lytic and latent lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) clones from a single blood donor generated through infection with the strain of EBV isolated from the aforementioned eBL cell line.

• Liquid biopsy for molecular characterization of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and early assessment of minimal residual disease

  Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) allows genotyping and minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in lymphomas. Using a NGS approach (Euroclonality-NDC), we evaluated clinical and prognostic value of ctDNA in a series of R-CHOP-treated DLBCL patients at baseline (n=68) and after 2-cycles (n=59), monitored by metabolic imaging (PET/CT). A molecular marker was identified in 61/68 (90%) ctDNA samples at diagnosis. Pre-treatment high ctDNA levels significantly correlated with elevated LDH, advanced stage, high risk IPI and a trend to shorter 2-year PFS. Valuable NGS data after 2-cycles of treatment were obtained in 44 cases, and 38 achieved major molecular response (MMR; 2.5-log drop in ctDNA). PFS curves displayed statistically significant differences among those achieving MMR vs. those not achieving MMR (2yr PFS of 76% vs. 0%, p<0.001). Similarly, more than 66% reduction in SUVmax by PET/CT identified two subgroups with different prognosis (2yr PFS of 83% vs. 38%; p<0.001). Combining both approaches MMR and SUVmax reduction, a better stratification was observed (2yr PFS of 84% vs. 17% vs. 0%, p<0.001). Euroclonality-NDC panel allows the detection of a molecular marker in the ctDNA in 90% of DLBCL. ctDNA reduction at 2 cycles and its combination with interim PET results improves patient prognosis stratification.

• The Effect of the Menstrual Cycle on DNA Expression in the Normal Human Breast Epithelium

  The Susan G. Komen for the Cure&#174; Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center [www.komentissuebank.iu.edu] (KTB) was established expressly for the prospective collection of normal, healthy breast tissue from volunteer donors. Blood is also obtained from donors at the time of donation and is processed for serum, plasma and peripheral blood leukocyte DNA. Specimens are annotated and data includes age, race, ethnicity, personal health history, family cancer history, medication usage at the time of donation, and breast cancer risk factors. Premenopausal donors to the KTB were identified by a query of the Bank&#39;s database. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections of the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue of the identified donors were reviewed and tissue was graded on the basis of the abundance of epithelium within the section. Only tissue containing abundant epithelium was considered for this study. Based on dates, the specimens of nine women in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and five in the luteal phase were chosen. Six donors using hormonal contraception at the time of donation were also included. Whole blood obtained from 19 of the 20 donors at the time of tissue donation was available and it was processed for serum. Estradiol, estriol, luteinizing hormone and progesterone concentrations were determined by the Indiana University Health Pathology Laboratory using a Beckman Unicel DxI 800 Immunoassay System. The phase of the menstrual cycle was verified by serum progesterone concentration. The epithelium of these 20 specimens was microdissected from multiple 8 micron frozen tissue sections. Total RNA extracted from the tissue was subsequently depleted of rRNA via locked nucleic acid probes. This enabled profiling of both poly-A and non-poly-A RNA species. Barcoded cDNA libraries from the 20 normal breast epithelia were prepared and sequenced on an Applied Biosystems (AB) SOLiD3 or SOLiD 4 platform. RNA-seq reads for each sample were then mapped to the human genome (hg19) using the LifeScope software version 2.5.1 (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA) and BAM (Binary Alignment/Map) files generated. Read counts for each gene were derived from the output BAM files using the RefSeq database (UCSC Genome Brower) as the gene model.

• IL-27 promotes tumour control by enhancing cytotoxic T cell function

  Cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL) are essential for anti-tumour immunity but are frequently dysfunctional in established tumours. Here, we show that expression of a CTL signature is strongly associated with IL-27 expression in diverse human and murine tumours. In mice, IL-27 acts directly on tumour-specific CTL to promote their persistence and effector function in the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, treatment with inducible IL-27 overexpression or a half-life-extended IL-27 protein in vivo is well tolerated, induces regression of large established tumours, drives an enhanced cytotoxic program in anti-tumour CTL, and synergizes with PD-L1 blockade. In cancer patients treated with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy, high expression of IL-27 is associated with improved clinical response. Finally, IL-27 increases cytotoxicity and limits terminal differentiation of human CD8+ T cells during chronic antigen exposure. Our data demonstrate that endogenous IL-27 is essential for anti-tumour immunity and that IL-27 receptor agonism can safely improve anti-tumor T cell responses alone or in combination with PD-L1 blockade.

• Identification and characterisation of pathogenic and non-pathogenic FGF14 repeat expansions

  Repeat expansions in FGF14 cause autosomal dominant late-onset cerebellar ataxia (SCA27B) with estimated pathogenic thresholds of 250 (incomplete penetrance) and 300 AAG repeats (full penetrance), but the sequence of pathogenic and non-pathogenic expansions remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that STRling and ExpansionHunter accurately detect FGF14 expansions from short-read genomic data using outlier approaches. By combining long-range PCR and nanopore sequencing in 169 patients with cerebellar ataxia and 802 controls, we compare FGF14 expansion alleles, including interruptions and flanking regions. Uninterrupted AAG expansions are significantly enriched in patients with ataxia from a lower threshold (180-200 repeats) than previously reported based on expansion size alone. Conversely, AAGGAG hexameric expansions are equally frequent in patients and controls. Distinct 5' flanking regions, interruptions and pre-repeat sequences correlate with repeat size. Furthermore, pure AAG (pathogenic) and AAGGAG (non-pathogenic) repeats form different secondary structures. Regardless of expansion size, SCA27B is a recognizable clinical entity characterized by frequent episodic ataxia and downbeat nystagmus, similar to the presentation observed in a family with a previously unreported nonsense variant (SCA27A). Overall, this study suggests that SCA27B is a major overlooked cause of adult-onset ataxia, accounting for 23-31% of unsolved patients. We strongly recommend re-evaluating pathogenic thresholds and integrating expansion sequencing into the molecular diagnostic process.

• Sensitive Monogenic Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis by Targeted Haplotyping

  During pregnancy, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal blood encompasses a small percentage of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA), an easilyaccessible source for determination of fetal disease status in risk families through non-invasive procedures. In case of monogenic heritabledisease, background maternal cfDNA prohibits direct observation of the maternally inherited allele. Non-invasive prenatal diagnostics(NIPD) of monogenic diseases therefore relies on parental haplotyping and statistical assessment of inherited alleles from cffDNA,techniques currently unavailable for routine clinical practice. Here, we present monogenic NIPD (MG-NIPD), which requires a bloodsample from both parents, for targeted locus amplification (TLA)-based phasing of heterozygous variants selectively at a gene of interest.Capture probes-based targeted sequencing of cfDNA from the pregnant mother and a tailored statistical analysis enables predicting fetalgene inheritance. MG-NIPD was validated for 18 pregnancies, focusing on CFTR, CYP21A2, and HBB. In all cases we could predict theinherited alleles with &gt;98% confidence, even at relatively early stages (8 weeks) of pregnancy. This prediction and the accuracy ofparental haplotyping was confirmed by sequencing of fetal material obtained by parallel invasive procedures. MG-NIPD is a robustmethod that requires standard instrumentation and can be implemented in any clinic to provide families carrying a severe monogenicdisease with a prenatal diagnostic test based on a simple blood draw.

• Three-dimensional human alveolar stem cell culture models reveal infection response to SARS-CoV-2

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the cause of a present global pandemic, infects human lung alveolar type 2 (hAT2) cells. Characterizing pathogenesis is crucial for developing vaccines and therapeutics. However, the lack of models mirroring the cellular physiology and pathology of hAT2 cells limits the study. Here, we develop a feeder-free, long-term three-dimensional (3D) culture technique for hAT2 cells derived from primary human lung tissue, and investigate infection response to SARS-CoV-2. By imaging-based analysis and single-cell transcriptome profiling, we reveal rapid viral replication and the increased expression of interferon-associated genes and pro-inflammatory genes in infected hAT2 cells, indicating robust endogenous innate immune response. Further tracing of viral mutations acquired during transmission identifies full infection of individual cells effectively from a single viral entry. Our study provides deep insights into the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2, and the application of defined 3D hAT2 cultures as models for respiratory diseases.

• National Eye Institute Glaucoma Human Genetics Collaboration (NEIGHBOR) Consortium Glaucoma Genome-Wide Association Study: Whole Exome Resequencing in Glaucoma

  This is a study of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) conducted through exome sequencing of cases and comparison of variant frequencies with general population frequencies available in dbGAP and controlled for sequencing platform artifact to minimize false positives. POAG is an intraocular pressure (IOP) related progressive optic neuropathy that ultimately leads to blindness. This study builds upon the efforts of an on-going collaborative consortium that studied 2,170 POAG cases and 2,347 controls with a unified definition of POAG (the NEIGHBOR consortium: NEI Glaucoma Human genetic collaBORation). The case definition for NEIGHBOR was harmonized with an additional 976 cases and 1140 controls from the NHGRI supported GENEVA (gene-environment) study of glaucoma (GLAUGEN) (NIH/NHGRI U01HG004728, Pasquale PI). In NEIGHBOR, cases and controls were recruited from ophthalmology clinics and were examined by ophthalmologists. For cases, the clinical exam included intraocular pressure measurements, optic nerve assessment and visual field evaluation. Controls had no family history of glaucoma, normal intraocular pressure and normal optic nerves. Cases and controls were also drawn from two clinical trial populations: Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS, NEI U10EY006827, D. Gaasterland PI) and Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study (CIGTS, NEI U10 EY009149, P. Lichter PI). The Glaucoma Exome Sequencing study has one Principal Investigator: Theresa Gaasterland (UCSD) and two Co-Investigators: Robert Weinreb, MD, and Kang Zhang, MD, PhD, all of whom are part of the NEIGHBOR, subsequently NEIGHBORHOOD, consortium, which in turn has two Co-Principal Investigators: J. Wiggs (Harvard, MEEI), and M. Hauser (Duke). NEIGHBOR collaborators who contributed samples and/or expertise to the Glaucoma Exome Sequencing study included the following: Harvard Medical School (Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary) (J.

• Tumor-associated neutrophil 1 precursors impair homologous DNA repair and promote sensitivity to PARP-inhibition

  Tumor evolution is one of the major mechanisms responsible for acquiring therapy resistant and more aggressive cancer clones. Whether the tumor microenvironment through immune-mediated mechanisms might promote the development of more aggressive cancer types is crucial for the identification of additional therapeutical opportunities. Here, we identify a subset of tumor-associated neutrophils, defined as tumor-associated neutrophil precursors (PreNeu). These PreNeu are enriched in highly proliferative hormone-dependent breast cancers and impair DNA repair capacity

• Whole Genome Sequencing of Liver Cancers

  Genomic alterations driving tumorigenesis result from the interaction of environmental exposures and endogeneous cellular processes. With a diversity of risk factors including viral infection, carcinogenic exposures and metabolic diseases, liver cancer is an ideal model to study these interactions. Whole genome sequencing of liver tumors identified 10 mutational signatures showing distinct relationships with environmental exposures, replication and transcription. Transcription-coupled damage was specifically associated with the liver-specific signature 16 and alcohol intake. Flood of indels were identified in very highly expressed hepato-specific genes, likely resulting from replication-transcription collisions. Reconstruction of sub-clonal architecture revealed mutational signature evolution during tumor development exemplified by the vanishing of aflatoxin-B1 signature in African migrants. These findings shed new light on the natural history of liver cancers.

• Massive parallel RNA sequencing of highly purified mesenchymal cells derived from bone marrow specimens of 45 low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome cases

  Highly purified mesenchymal cells (CD45-/7AAD-/CD235a-/CD31-/CD271+/CD105+) were prospectively FACS-isolated from bone marrow specimens of 45 low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LRMDS) cases. Gene expression profiles (GEPs) of the 45 LRMDS have been compared to GEPs derived from likewise highly purified mesenchymal cells obtained from bone marrow specimens of healthy donors for the identification of inflammatory signatures. Additionally, an overlap in inflammatory signatures has been determined by comparing the GEPs of these 45 LRMDS cases to the GEPs of 4 Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and 3 Diamond-Blackfan anemia cases, both representing different subclasses of congenital pre-leukemia syndromes with a tendency of leukemic progression and perturbed niche compartment. Finally, the GEPs and gene expression signatures have been utilized for prognostication and the prediction of leukemic progression.
